People Share Most Embarrassing Email Fails And We All Can Relate So Hard

We desperately need an unsend button on our emails.

This has happened to almost every one of us, and it is a genuine problem. We mistype a word in a hurry or insert something wholly inappropriate and hit the send button without taking another look. This could be destructive, people!

Take a look at how these people went a little too far in making mistakes and a total fool of themselves. I bet you’re going to go crazy over the last one.

1. This is just the beginning.

ACCIDENTALLY PASTED THIS INTO AN EMAIL INSTEAD OF MY E-SIGNATURE, AND IN MY PANIC TO DELETE IT MANAGED TO SEND IT. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH. pic.twitter.com/a5ZDWyJiK4

2. Eeek!

Just signed off an email with “have a lovely eeek.”

3. The smart kind!

This may be on par with my ‘Hopefukky we can get together soon’.

4. The wee hours.

I suppose it's better than signing off an email with "have a lovely wee." https://t.co/cgXZmyVl7F

5. I really hope it did not leave a bad impression on them.

6. Your friend must have had a good laugh at it.

I was texting with a friend who was having a bit of a rough time. Signed off with "Sorry to hear thongs are shitty".

7. What’s a seedy reply?

Done better that that. I once said 'thanks for your seedy reply'. Meant speedy honestly! 😨

8. I think they just typed how they were feeling at the moment.

I once worked with someone who meant to wish a client a 'lovely weekend' but typed 'lonely weekend' instead.
